Casino – Cheating Two-way Street Part4

Author: Sometimes you can’t tell the good guys from the bad guys in Nevada. The July 20, 1998 issue of the New York Post reported that former Gambling Control Board Agent Ron Harris was arrested for rigging slot machines. He was sentenced to seven years in state prison.During one trip to Atlantic City, I paused at a roped-off bank of 5$ machines. A typical cleaning-lady type-I don’t know anv,’filler way to describe her-was pumping two $5 tokens, in tandem, into each of two $5 machines simultaneously, and at breakneck speed! I calculated the fast money she was pumping into the two machines was definitely enough to classify her as a Slot Machine High Roller. A player betting a black chip or two at a blackjack table in the baccarat pit couldn’t match the rapid-fire four-coin totals she was feeding the two machines in an identical time span.
The reckless abandonment with which she was feeding her huge pile of $5 tokens into the machines led me to believe that she must be some sort of minor civil service functionary, probably from New York City, who had stumbled onto a crack in the proverbial floorboards where she could siphon off governmental money without getting caught. This was all speculation, of course, but I couldn’t help speculating.
ou know what I’m talking about. Every now and then you read about the civil servant who managed to funnel some city or state funds through loose controls. Like the parking metermaid who discovered a complete set of keys for all the parking meters in Manhattan. She systematically emptied as many of the meters as she could during her off-hours. When the authorities finally caught her, they found 29,000 quarters in a row of cans lined up in the back of her minivan. She was all ready for-you guessed it-her regular weekly run to Atlantic City, where she turned the quarters into folding money at casino coin cashiers’ booths.
Don’t let anyone tell you that the Megabucks slots are rigged and “timed” so that the jackpots are electronically spaced out and can be hit only at certain intervals. That lie was put to rest on Sunday, October 23, 1994 at Caesars in Atlantic City. At 2:30 in the afternoon a couple hit the Quartermania for $1.5 million. Six hours later a guy walked over to the same bank of slot machines and hit the Quartermania again-this time for $407,505.
I’ve shown how rogue dealers can cheat players and how players (usually in cahoots with dishonest dealers) can cheat casinos. But wait-there’s more (or less). Casino cashiers can give you a “fast count.” Be on the alert when cashing in your chips, and don’t get shorted. sport bet
Finally, casinos-in the person of pit bosses and casino executives-can steal money directly from their patrons. This isn’t hearsay or suspicion. I know. I was cheated. My chips were stolen from me right before my eyes. I’ll not bandy words. Two casino executives screwed me for the benefit of the goddam casino, and they did it brazenly, right in front me, apparently with no fear of being nailed by the Eye in the Sky videotaping mandated by the Casino Control Commission. The following section is devoted to this episode, which I hope will serve as a warning to you.
